Thread: BUG #1465: UTF-8 BOM

The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      1465
Logged by:          Manlio Perillo

PostgreSQL version: 8.0.0
Operating system:   Windows XP
Description:        UTF-8 BOM
Details:

psql client program on Windows does not recognize UTF-8 BOM (\xef\xbb\xbf)

This is a problem because:
1) All windows programs seems to recognize the mark (including PgAdminIII)

2) Since it seems that PostgreSQL does not support windows 1252 code page I
have to use UTF-8. But this make my files not well readable


Thanks and regards  Manlio Perillo
